50-calSHTF Plan – by Mac Slavo

The border is completely safe. So say President Barack Obama, Representative Nancy Pelosi, Senator Harry Reid and others who support the wave of illegal immigrants entering the United States.

A new report from the southern border, however, suggests otherwise.

Shots rang out Friday night in Rincon Peninsula, Texas, forcing U.S. border patrol agents to take cover. The shots originated from south of the Rio Grande River and according to Border Patrol sources they came from a high-powered .50 caliber rifle.   Continue reading “Report: Mexican Drug Cartels Lay Down High Powered Suppressing Fire For Crossing Immigrants”

On Sunday, Steinberg, 24, and Carmeli, 21, were killed there. They were among 13 Israeli soldiers and 65 Palestinians killed Sunday during the first major ground battle in two weeks of fighting between Israel and Hamas.   Continue reading “2 Americans Killed in Fighting in Gaza Strip”

US/EU Misadventure In The Ukraine Has Triggered Economic/Financial Word War III

With the CIA-coordinated coup d’état executed in Kiev came the very real prospect of a World War III. However, the much greater war is not being waged on the urban battlefields of Eastern Ukraine or on the Russian border; rather, it’s being prosecuted in various national economies and by the world’s largest central and commercial banks, transnational corporations and market exchanges.  What is at stake is the very future and viability of the US Petrodollar as the reserve currency of the planet.   Continue reading “US Dollar Under Grave Threat: Russia Plans Global Retaliation For Ukraine”

To examine the world today, politically and socially, is complex task. There are indeed so many complexities to the postmodern world that it is as if the more you learn, the less sure you become.

JEFFERSON —  Reptile specialist Gerald Andrejcak told NJ.com Friday that the giant snake loose in Lake Hopatcong is a green anaconda — though he’d previously only called it a boa constrictor — and that he was “sworn to secrecy” by a local animal control official to avoid causing a panic.

“It’s a green anaconda,” Andrejcak said. “I’ve known its species (since last week), but I was sworn to keep my mouth shut by local officials to avoid causing a panic. Now that there’s a panic, I’m going on the record.”   Continue reading “Expert: Lake Hopatcong snake an anaconda, but I was ‘sworn to keep my mouth shut’”

Criminal prosecution is likely to be expanded on Americans involved in recruiting and supervising activities of German officials spying for the US intelligence, Germany’s Justice Minister Heiko Maas told Welt am Sonntag.

If investigators find a body of evidence that alleged double agents in Germany’s federal intelligence service and Defense Ministry have been spying to the benefit of American intelligence, “the investigation would extend on their feasible patrons,” Maas declared.   Continue reading “Berlin wants to prosecute US handlers of German spies”

FRESNO, California (AP) — Police were investigating whether the same men who robbed a bank, took hostages and led a deadly chase and shootout carried out other recent bank heists in the same part of Northern California, including one earlier this year at the very same branch.

There were striking similarities between a late-January robbery at the Bank of the West and the one this week that left a hostage and two robbers dead, police said. In both cases, armed robbers made their getaway by stealing a bank employee’s car.   Continue reading “Police: Men may have robbed California bank before”

MerckNatural News – by Mike Adams

Those of us who have long been describing the pharmaceutical industry as a “criminal racket” over the last few years have been wholly vindicated by recent news. Drug and vaccine manufacturer Merck was caught red-handed by two of its own scientists faking vaccine efficacy data by spiking blood samples with animal antibodies. GlaxoSmithKline has just been fined a whopping $3 billion for bribing doctors, lying to the FDA, hiding clinical trial data and fraudulent marketing. Pfizer, meanwhile has been sued by the nation’s pharmacy retailers for what is alleged as an “overarching anticompetitive scheme” to keep generic cholesterol drugs off the market and thereby boost its own profits.   Continue reading “Irrefutable proof that Big Pharma is a criminal racket: Bribery, scientific fraud, felony crimes and more”
